Rangers News and Form

It was a 0-0 draw in the first leg of this tie, which, when you look at Legia Warsaw’s results this season, wasn’t unexpected. Will Rangers be able to make the breakthrough against a watertight defence at Ibrox? The timing of this is not great for the Gers really, because this is a high-pressure game just ahead of their first meeting of the season against rivals Celtic in the Scottish top flight on the weekend.

Rangers are carrying good form though with a win in five of their last six played (D1). In the previous round of the Europa League, the Gers beat Midtjylland 7-3 on aggregate. Rangers are unbeaten in their 2019/20 Europa League campaign, winning all but two of their seven games.

The two exceptions were a 0-0 draw at Progres and then against Legia away from home. At Ibrox, it is a twelve match undefeated streak of former in their last 12 Europa League games that the Gers are on. They have won their last three in a row there, scoring 11 and conceding 1 in that sequence.

Legia Warsaw News and Form

There is no way that Legia Warsaw area going to turn up in Glasgow and just rollover. It is an eight-match undefeated streak of form that they are in the Europa League, but they have drawn five of those. Legia are W1 D3 in their last four played in the competition this season. Of the seven games in the Europa League which they have played this season, four of them have ended in a 0-0 draw. The Polish side haven’t conceded a single goal in qualification yet.

While that speaks volumes about their defence, do they have enough in the attack? But it is the defence which takes centre stage. Can Rangers break them down? It may be another big test of patience from the Gers. Warsaw’s away form in the competition may offer some hope to Rangers fans. Legia Warsaw have won only one of their last nine on the road in the competition and are W1 D4 in their last five. Note though that they did take a clean sheet in four of those five games.
